About the book

Who would have guessed that four minutes could change everything?
Today should be one of the worst days of seventeen-year-old Hadley Sullivan's life. She's stuck at JFK, late to her father's second wedding, which is taking place in London and involves a soon to be step-mother that Hadley's never even met. Then she meets the perfect boy in the airport's cramped waiting area. His name is Oliver, he's British, and he's in seat 18C. Hadley's in 18A.
Twists of fate and quirks of timing play out in this thoughtful novel about family connections, second chances and first loves. Set over a 24-hour-period, Hadley and Oliver's story will make you believe that true love finds you when you're least expecting it.

My Review

First, I really liked the cover of this book. The colors are great. I love the font that they wrote the title in.

Now, onto the story. I thought this story was cute and romantic. I really liked the author takes something like a plane ride across the Atlantic Ocean to an event that the main character does really want to go to in the first place, and turn it into something magical and romantic. Meeting a boy on the airplane and you are going to the same place, London.  I also like how this book was written to show that everything that has happened happened in a 24 hour time period. I thought it was cute because the main character left her wedding party to go and see this boy to see if it was true that he was at a funeral, and she leaves her book like a bread crumb so that he may find her in return. And she did it so she could see each other again. This was a good read, and I recommend it to anyone who likes a good romance, and who reads Young Adult. 

Until next time...Happy Reading!
